One of the largest employers in the UK, the construction industry is worth around £110 billion and employs over 2.7 million people. Job roles are varied from the traditional trades of joinery, plumbing, electrical and bricklaying to surveying, architecture, design and town planning with lots of office-based roles as well as on site. With opportunities for self-employment as well as international travel, this industry demands people who are ambitious, good problem solvers and expert negotiators.
You can trust us to give you an excellent quality of education with practical, hands-on courses and real world skills. If you’re joining us from school and laying the foundations to your career you can choose from one of our specialist trade courses. All are designed to give you the skills you need to either secure an apprenticeship or progress further. Or if you fancy more hands-on experience and getting straight into work, why not try one of our T Levels. These are technical qualifications endorsed by business leaders that include a 45-day work placement.
At professional level, we offer a range of part time courses designed for those wanting to upskill, retrain or progress further in your chosen career.
“I was initially focussed on getting a better career, but my experience at college has given me loads more. The tutors all know what it’s like to be on the tools and put what you learn into context.”
